84 OD TV cable adjustment

Is there a tool that is needed to adjust the TV cable in the overdrive for the 4+3. If so where can I get it?

Thanks,

Hugh

here is what I mean

This comes from the instructuons on how to rebuild the OD:

To adjust the TV cable on the valve body, install tool J-34671-1 into the TV cable bore on the side of the case and set the hook on the high step of the gauge. Place the cam stop on the valve body as close to the lever as possible and install the retaining bolt.

Next, set the hook on the lower step of the gauge. Place tool
J-34671-2 between the piston and solenoid bracket. Adjust the bolt on the TV lever until the lever just touches the tool.

Basically what it's saying is adjust the TV cable until there is almost no slack in it, but it isn't being pulled at all at idle. I forget how to actually do it, but I remember doing it without special tools or anything.

You mean tool (not tolls) don't you? I am not a transmission man. *I* would need the tool if I were to attempt it. An experienced 4+3 man night not. See what Pete K. has to say.
